Paul Rennie is the Head of the Global Economy Group at the British Embassy, Washington DC, leading the UK's climate and energy, economic and trade, and science and technology networks across the United States.

For years, there has been talk about climate change, but there's never been this level of public support. The US's renewed commitment to climate change sends a message to the world that this is an issue that cannot be ignored and is coming at a time when technology is ready and able to meet our missions.

Through his work, Paul works in collaboration with the US government, businesses and citizens to address challenges and identify solutions with a major emphasis on improving the economy.
